Mass Shooting in Rural Texas

Twenty-six people were killed and at least 20 more injured in Sutherland Springs, a town of 400 people near San Antonio, Texas. Dressed in black and holding a military-style rifle in his hands, Devin Patrick Kelley, 26, who had been discharged from the Air Force for bad conduct in 2014, began shooting at the church members of the First Baptist Church shortly after the service began at 11 a.m. After leaving the church, he was shot at by an armed neighbor and fled in his car. Several neighbors followed him and he later crashed his car in the next county. He was found dead in his vehicle, but so far it is unclear how he died.
